I have tried to use IE 7 on 5 PCs that I have access to. I find it slows my Pc's down and tells me to connect to the internet when I already am

Yes I agree, It is about as much good as a chocolate firegaurd.

Afraid not. I have it on two PC's and a Laptop, all without any problems. I have used Firefox but any tech will know that it has its own security issues and may not be the all singing all dancing browser we all though it would be. The biggest advantage over IE
when Firefox was first launched was the tabbed browser, a superb innovation but that hass now been reproduced on IE7 and I am happy. Like most things in life, we all have our comfort zone and dont like change. I can remember saying I wouldnt bother changing from Win 98 to XP, didnt like it. What I really meant was I knew 98 like the back of my hand and XP was all different. BUT, we must move on and I finally installed XP pro. It was a pain at first but now I am as converstant withXP as I was with 98 so would never go back. Give IE7 some time and give it a fair trial. I can rememebr arguments when IE 5 moved to IE6. No doubt we will all be writing here in a few years time when it changes to Vista or IE8.

IE 7 is as much use as a Sticky bun on the top of a spike in a war zone. I too have downloaded it and I think it is a conspiracy by Yahoo and Microsoft to damage ones trust in computers. I know several people who have downloaded it and reverted back to ie 6

If anyone has used microsoft products they know by now that :
a) don't download the beta
b) don't install major releases right away
c) XP had it's issues but after sp2 it was solid
Firefox isn't always the answer because other things affect your computer.
Wait for a service release and you'll be fine.

Yes I agree with that, I tried it and went straight back to IE six and complained to Microsoft.

well not really, IE 7 is good, If your having issues with it its probly that you have spyware/malware on your system. I agree tho its WAY too easy for IE to get spyware. Switch to firefox. http://getfirefox.com

...and its about as appetising.
Ad-Aware SE Personal keeps finding new spyware I didn't have before, every web address I type.
And my firewall says it tries to hijack Firefox to connect to the internet.
I have to log off then log back on after I use it to stop it. I only use it to test web pages and it renders them so badly they look terrible.

I totally agree. I had it on my machine for only ten minutes before reverting to the older version.
